Yes, it’s a puzzlement, all right. What makes so many people – mainly Palestinians and Turks in Germany, Palestinians and Moroccans in the Netherlands, Palestinians and Egyptians in Italy, Palestinians and Pakistanis in Great Britain, Palestinians and North Africans in France – so full of hatred for Jews and the Jewish state? What moves Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib, and Nihad Awad, and Linda Sarsour, to come down so hard on “the Jews”? This question requires, the Germans believe, generously subsidized deep research, and they are – it’s understandable, given their regrettable past — eager to fund it. And that is what they have just announced they will embark upon such research, as discussed here: “German Government to Spend $40 Million on Researching What Fuels Antisemitism, Racism,” by Sharon Wrobel, Algemeiner, August 4, 2021.
The German government will spend more than $40 million (35 million euros) to fund research projects into the causes of antisemitism, hatred and racism as part of a wider effort to fight the growing phenomena, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research announced on Wednesday.“It is more than shameful that Jews in Germany feel threatened,” said Germany’s Education and Research Minister Anja Karliczek. “Antisemitism and racism have no place in Germany. They are poison and a big threat for social cohesion. We must fight this poison with all our determination. But we can only fight what we understand.”A number of academic researchers on the subject of antisemitism will be funded with a total of $14 million over a period of four years. Additional funding of $27 million will be granted to projects to combat right-wing extremism and racism.”
Why is the government going to spend twice as much on “right-wing extremism” as on “antisemitism”? Isn’t antisemitism supposed to be the main subject of study? And isn’t left-wing antisemitism, of the Antifa, woke, Black-Lives-Matter variety, a much greater problem in Europe today than “right-wing extremism”?
“We want to expand our knowledge base in order to effectively combat racism and antisemitism,” Karliczek continued. “The research projects we fund will contribute to this understanding and help develop suitable measures to prevent and combat antisemitism in education, civil society and politics.”
Do you think any research project that proposes studying the Qur’an and hadith as sources of antisemitism has a chance of being funded? Don’t be silly. What about a proposed comparative study, “Antisemitism in Western Christendom and the Lands of Islam? Not on your life. What about a study of antisemitism in schoolbooks used in Muslim countries? Nothing doing. Or a study of “Hajj Amin el-Husseini in Berlin, 1939-1945”? Out of the question. The German government wouldn’t like where any of this is going.
She added that the research groups will address questions including how antisemitism reaches children in schools, and what the public can do to immunize against online hate speech.
Here’s what the public can do. It can demand that governments no longer allow Big Tech – Facebook, Google, Twitter and so on – to police itself. These companies have shown an unwillingness to ban all expressions of antisemitism. That responsibility must be taken away from them, and entrusted to a group that bases its banning of sites on whether they meet the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
The initiative will examine the dynamics and facets of antisemitism from different disciplinary perspectives and will include academics from theology, education, political science and law. Selected projects range from “antisemitism in online media” to “antisemitism in the context of the judiciary,” “Christian signatures of antisemitism,” and the prevention of antisemitism in education. Jewish perspectives will be systematically included, the government said.
“Christian signatures of antisemitism,” but not a hint that “Muslim antisemitism” will be studied. Why is that, do you think?
“To build the basis of our actions, reliable knowledge of the current manifestations of antisemitism, right-wing extremism and racism is indispensable,” said Felix Klein, Germany’s Federal Commissioner to combat antisemitism and promote Jewish life.
Again, the missing words are “Muslim.” “Muslim antisemitism,” “Islamic extremism,” “Muslim racism.” “Islamic racism.”
“The current funding guideline for research on antisemitism supports a wide range of research projects. Together with the funding guideline for right-wing extremism and racism, this gives us a clearer picture of these phenomena and their connections,” he said.
But even without needing to burn the midnight oil in study, without organizing conferences where scholars can meet to solemnly discuss what-oh-what could those “causes” of a sharp rise in antisemitism could be, and then to prepare detailed reports for the German government that will finally enlighten us all, I think we all know the answer – the hate whose name we dare not speak — don’t we? Let’s just cut to the chase. The fons et origo of today’s antisemitism, which is displayed overwhelmingly by Muslims, are the Qur’an and the hadith. Here are Qur’anic passages about the Jews, as usefully compiled by Robert Spencer:
“The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the wellbeing of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); claiming that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more.”
Nothing further needs to be researched. Give that man $14 million. Or the whole 35 million euros. And spare us all the simpsonesque – O.J. rather than Homer – attempts to find the “real killer.” We know.
JOEYN says
Islam and Leftism are by far the main cause of present day anti-semitism The fact that Germany has to spend $41 million to find out this cause, clearly shows that Germany is being run by a bunch of big-time crooks.
It is also really pathetic that the Lefist-controlled media tried to hack the showing of Mike Lindell’s, Cyber Symposium being shown for the next 72 hours on http://www.frankspeech.com.
Goofy says
Most of the readers of this blog would be prepared to make a perfectly good report for EUR 41.
Mike says
o o o o pick me
won’t take much
James Lincoln says
JOEYN,
Mike Lindell was expecting that his Cyber Symposium would be hacked.
Luckily his fourth backup system kept the symposium online through Rumble – before FrankSpeech.com finally came back online.
Fantastic symposium!
JOEYN says
Yes truly fantastic and thank God for the backup system. Americans need to know the absolute truth and do everything in their power to rightfully take back their country from these crooked Lefists and Islamists who originate from within and from without.
They need to do it a.s.a.p based on the actual truthful results of the 2020 elections before the Biden administration takes America to a point of no return. Otherwise the whole world is in big trouble.
gravenimage says
Glad to hear it, James.
Grace says
Spent the day with Mike Lindell’s symposium. What a treat to hear passion and hope from the many speakers. What revelations to know how far the evil left is going to try to stop the truth. The Elites will hate this symposium and it’s understandable they are trying to block it. The middle class rising up to thwart their percieved success! . I can only hope the genie is out of the bottle and success will spread like ether . Was Mike saved from his former addiction to save the Republic?God i hope so.I never heard Steve Bannon speak before. He is very persuasive. So much to tell. Everyone should really try to watch it. I’m sure it will be repeated. See Soros on full display.
Check Burry says
I would consult for them for £1, here is the answer gremany, islam.
QED and cheaply too.
OK Ill throw in left for 50p.
mortimer says
Agree with Joeyn. The Left is promoting anti-Semitism by promoting Islam.
I can save Anja Karliczek a lot of work. The sources of anti-Semitism she is seeking are in Islam’s PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS, Islam’s history and Islam’s LAW:
1) the Koran 2) the hadiths 3) the canonical commentaries (tafsirs) 4) Islamic history 5) Islam’s canonical LAW MANUALS of Sharia law.
Moreover, a sociological study of Muslim families will show that pervasive ANTI-SEMITISM Is systemic to Muslim cultures throughout the Muslim world.
Jim says
Like the Democrats in the USA, they have no idea. Look in the 3 holiest Political pandering t books, Koran, Sirrah, Hadith, it is all there. Plus all the propaganda spread for politicians for political purposes, All the centuries of hatred of Jews and Christians. Nativist hatred of Jews. The indulgence and support of anti-Semites in host countries, What more does one need to know? The politicians already know, they just want people to think they are doing something about the problem. It is not rocket science.
mortimer says
Agree … the Germans already know that the anti-Semitism is coming from Muslims. Anti-Semitism is a core part of Islam and it cannot be removed by it is the very ‘sacred’ behavior of Mohammed whom Muslims must imitate.
However, since the sources of Islamic anti-Semitism are intrinsic to the ‘sacred’ source texts, nothing can remove anti-Semitism from Islam.
The only solution is to remove Islam from the minds of Muslims through an ideological campaign to debunk the Koran.
Save Europe says
Merkel&CO horror project, everybody knows what’s going on, they just pretending they have problem to cover this shit Merkel&CO did since 2015 and still doing, so this lies and propaganda they can put in their asses , just wasting money like always for bullshit , unbelievable what is happening in Germany.,
Rarely says
Anti-Semitism in Europe is traditional. Consequently, “Present-day anti-Semitism” in Europe is simply “Olden-day anti-Semitism” in Europe with the addition of islamic anti-Semitism which seems to be outpacing it.
Don McKellar says
They could have bought a few of Spencer’s books and cross-checked them for accuracy against the Koran and the hadiths and the quotes of jihadis and saved themselves over 40 million.
Actually they’d end up saving multiples of 40 million because no doubt this study will be yet another white wash con job, as will be the ones that follow and they’ll never get to the bottom of this incredible mystery.
mortimer says
Nothing will come from the study. They are transferring money to their friends.
If they do opinion surveys of Muslims as PEW and Gallup have done, they will find that about 15% of Muslims support Islamic terrorism, about 60% support Sharia law and a caliphate and that about 90% are very anti-Semitic.
Johnny B says
I can give them the answer for free: the causes of present day antisemitism is Islam together with the left!
How about we cancel them?
Keith O says
Hold that thought!
James Lincoln says
Germany is about to spend $41 million to find some way that they can conclude – erroneously – that anti-Semitism is not linked in any way to islam…

Most likely, James…

Germany Will Spend 41 Million Dollars to ‘Discover’ Causes of Present-Day Antisemitism
…………
D’oh!
Clifford Fodor says
“Germany Will Spend 41 Million Dollars to ‘Discover’ Causes of Present-Day Antisemitism”
The money would be better spend shipping the Muslims out of Europe.
Spideyweb1 says
Bon voyage… and don’t let the door hit them in the ash as they bend down to pray to their schizophrenic moon god
sidney penny says
“What about a study of antisemitism in schoolbooks used in Muslim countries? ”
like in Pakistan ( the land of the Pure)
In Pakistan, it includes anti-Hinduism and anti History.
sidney penny says
“Germany Will Spend 41 Million Dollars to ‘Discover’ Causes of Present-Day Antisemitism.”
Robert Spencer could do it for 41 Dollars
A saving to Germany of millions of dollars
mortimer says
Yes, use the money to give every Muslim copies of Robert Spencer’s books. And translate the books into Urdu, Arabic, Indonesian and French … languages spoken by most Muslims.
Spideyweb1 says
I can save them $40M+… buy a copy of the mad man from Mecca’s anti-Christ screed, the corrupt Kookron by Dr Bill Warner in order of context with the Hadiths.. and Mein Kampf… that will make it clear.
OLD GUY says
Germany I can save you a lot of money, it’s ISLAM. If you want to show me your appreciation for saving you $41 million send me $100,000.00 that would do a lot for my retirement.
